Join us in Milwaukee as fast food workers go ON STRIKE for union rights. This is the first strike we’re holding specifically to focus on union rights and the importance of unions. We’ll be joining a global week of strikes and rallies with airport, child care, hospital, adjunct professors, and other low wage workers.

This will kick off our month of canvasses leading up to election day. The strikes and canvasses follow a blitz of town halls and round table meetings workers in the Fight for $15 have held in 17 cities this year with members of Congress and state and local elected leaders focused on the need for lawmakers to make it easier for workers to organize in unions.

Venezuela Under Siege: Challenges from Within and Without

UW Milwaukee Student Union, Room 191, 6:30 P.M. 

2200 East Kenwood Boulevard Milwaukee, WI 53211 (Located on Milwaukee’s east side)

The Bolivarian Revolution – an inspiration to all progressive peoples of the world – is under the threat of war from the Trump administration. “Venezuela Under Siege” is a national speaking tour, organized by solidarity activists across the United States, to build solidarity with the Venezuelan masses in their struggle for peace, self-determination and socialism.

The speaker of the tour, Steve Ellner, has been a professor at the Universidad de Oriente in Venezuela since 1977. Since the Bolivarian Revolution began in 1998, he has become one of the movement’s most prolific defenders and analysts in the English language.

We are honored to host him in Milwaukee, and encourage everyone interested in learning more about the truth of Venezuela to attend.

Event sponsored by Wisconsin FRSO, the Young People’s Resistance Committee, the Latin America Solidarity Committee, Wisconsin Bail Out The People Movement, the Wisconsin Coalition to Normalize Relations with Cuba, Peace Action Wisconsin …. (List in Formation)

Steve Ellner (born December 21, 1946) has taught economic history and political science at the Universidad de Oriente in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela since 1977. He is the author of numerous books and journal articles on Venezuelan history and politics, specifically in the area of political parties and organized labor. In addition, Ellner was a frequent contributor to Commonweal magazine beginning in the 1980s and more recently In These Times and NACLA Report on the Americas and has written op-ed articles in the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.He frequently lectures on Venezuelan and Latin American political developments in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Walkout Against Sexual Assault #CancelKavanaugh

UW Madison Library Mall, 4-7 P.M. 

*LOCATION SUBJECT TO CHANGE*

Has recent news upset you? Are you angry that people are denying what happened to Dr. Ford? Do you want to #CancelKavanaugh? Do you see what is happening on Capitol Hill as representative of a larger issue of power and control over survivors?

If yes, then join us and the International Women’s Strike on Thursday, Oct. 4 at 4 p.m. and walkout in solidarity with survivors, allies, and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

We believe Dr. Ford and all others who have come forward with allegations against Kavanaugh. We believe and support. We also need to act now to stop a sexual abuser from being confirmed to the United States Supreme Court, a position with incredible power and influence.

Bring your signs, your voices, your friends, and your passion while we march to the steps of Wisconsin’s Capitol where we will read our demands and speak out against sexual assault, Kavanaugh, and rape culture.

We urge you to attend this planning meeting hosted by the International Socialists Society on Tuesday night: https://www.facebook.com/events/177120036539388/

Be a part of history. Grab all of your friends and come march in solidarity with the Madison Community.

IT’S WORKING. Amazon announced today that they are moving all employees to $15/hr – just days after 40,000 New York City airport workers won a $19/hr wage! This is thanks to the passion and advocacy of the Fight for $15 workers who’ve been speaking out, walking off the job, and marching for years.

But this movement isn’t decided by a single victory. The rigged economy is working against too many of us, and all workers – including those at Amazon and airports – won’t be safe until they have a union.

That’s why the Fight for $15 is ON STRIKE for Unions for All right now at airports around the world today – with additional strikes happening across the country over the coming days.Stand with airport workers on strike right now by sharing this image on Facebook.

This is just the beginning. Over the next several days, we’ll be rallying, protesting, and striking to ensure union rights and fair wages for every worker. It’s an all-out effort to mobilize the 64 million people making less than $15/hr to demand our bosses recognize our right to join a union and politicians stand with us to make it easier for us to do it.

Stand with our movement today – share now.

Corporations and politicians have rigged the system against working people – and to fight back, we need to do more than just organize. We need unions for all, and we’re not going to stop until we win.

Onward,
Mya Hill
